Re: Car Nack Predicts 17-1

While getting the RP may be very rare, I feel that it will be likely that competitive regionals/district events will see the 100pt Rotor Engagement bonus being achieved in elimination rounds.

Given that gear cycling seems to be a very easily specialized task, elimination alliances will likely consist of at least one gearbot focused solely on getting that major point boost. However, alliances can also forego full Rotor Engagement entirely if all alliance partners have the ability to climb, which donates 150pts.

Of course, doing gears and doing the rope climb is not mutually exclusive. Therefore, it would be very lucrative for alliances to have one gear specialist in addition to all partners being able to climb.
